After the successful defense against an over-matched opponent logic seems to suggest that there's no way to go but move up in weight. The Donaire-Montiel bout seemed inevitable as both fighters are willing to go against each other.
Well, the sad part is Montiel is scheduled to defend his crown to someone not having the last name Donaire. As always, Arum to the rescue. He worked out a deal and announced that Donaire will defend his crown against the undefeated Mexican, Raul Martinez.
Still more disappointments occurred, the fight against Martinez was scheduled to be on Mar. 22 but it was suddenly moved to Apr. 19 and at the moment Team Donaire is in chaos.
Donaire expressed his disappointments recently and even stated his unwillingness to pursue the fight with Martinez and is now insisting a fight at Tijuana, Mexico specifically as undercard to the Julio Cesar Chavez-Luciano Leonel Cuello showdown.
It seems that bad luck is all over Donaire ironically Darchinyan, the guy whom he knocked out is now enjoying the best boxing of his life, winning against champions Dmitri Kirilov, Mijares and Arce.
Might be bad luck, bad break or simply the Vic Darchinyan's curse...
